Modern compiler implementation in C / Andrew W. Appel with Maia Ginsburg.

By: Appel, Andrew W, 1960- [author.].
Contributor(s): Ginsburg, Maia [author.].
Publisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1998Description: 1 online resource (x, 544 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9781139174930 (ebook).Subject(s): Compilers (Computer programs) | C (Computer program language)Additional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 005.4/53 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: This new, expanded textbook describes all phases of a modern compiler: lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax, semantic actions, intermediate representations, instruction selection via tree matching, dataflow analysis, graph-coloring register allocation, and runtime systems. It includes good coverage of current techniques in code generation and register allocation, as well as functional and object-oriented languages, that are missing from most books. In addition, more advanced chapters are now included so that it can be used as the basis for a two-semester or graduate course. The most accepted and successful techniques are described in a concise way, rather than as an exhaustive catalog of every possible variant. Detailed descriptions of the interfaces between modules of a compiler are illustrated with actual C header files. The first part of the book, Fundamentals of Compilation, is suitable for a one-semester first course in compiler design. The second part, Advanced Topics, which includes the advanced chapters, covers the compilation of object-oriented and functional languages, garbage collection, loop optimizations, SSA form, loop scheduling, and optimization for cache-memory hierarchies.
